Great to meet you!

My name is Taresa Spade, LCSW. I'm a private practice therapist licensed in the states of HI, CA, WA, MT, MN, OR, and IL. I bring a down-to-earth and practical approach that embraces real-world solutions while attending to deeper healing and empowerment. I focus on helping you find your way through stress and anxiety-based issues, trauma (all kinds), major life change, loss and grief (via death or loss of any kind), caregiver issues, chronic and/or terminal illness, adult ADHD, and familial estrangement. I also provide integrative therapeutic support for spiritual and existential experiences such as NDE's.

My approach to therapy

My work is informed by Cognitive-behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Adaptive Info Processing, Attachment, Somatic, Existential, Internal Family Systems, Compassion Focused, Grief, Somatic, Solution-oriented, Integrative, and Trauma therapies. I have significant experience w/ many religions and beliefs systems. If you choose, these are embraced in our visits.

What you can expect from me

In therapy, I emphasize effectiveness and practicality by focusing on easy-to-implement steps and real-life solutions. Our conversations will center on your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and experiences to build a dynamic plan that is directly applicable to your daily life.
